Care & Maintenance

General

The frequency of cleaning your product will vary according to the required appearance and environment. Where salts/ pollutants are more prevalent, such as seaside and industrial areas, a cleaning program should be carried out more frequently. When moving furniture be careful not to drag the item.

Powdercoat Metal

Wash regularly with warm soapy water and mild detergent using a soft cloth. Always rinse well with water, to remove remaining detergent. Avoid scratching the surface by dry dusting. Do not allow dirt to accumulate, dry out and harden. Abrasive cleaning agents are not recommended.

Stainless Steel

Wash regularly with soapy water or detergent using a soft clean cloth, and if necessary, a 3M Scotch Brite Pad. Remove non washable deposits on stainless steel surface with an approved cleaner eg: 3M Stainless cleaner, Jif, or Ajax. Clean in one direction only, along the original polish lines. Rinse well with water. Abrasive cleaning products are not recommended. Do not allow dirt to accumulate, dry out and harden.

Timber – Solid + Veneer

As timber is sealed with a protective polyurethane lacquer the only maintenance required is to regularly wipe timber with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn stains use hot water and household detergent, then remove with clean water. Repeat several times if necessary. Oils or other polishes are not necessary. Avoid contact with liquid, heat and keep out of direct sunlight. Abrasive cleaning products are not recommended. For outdoor applications keep furniture in covered areas away from direct sunlight for extended periods.

Brass + Copper – Uncoated

Brass + copper products that are left uncoated, will require to be cleaned from time to time – if you are wanting to remove marks and discolouration, which is caused by the oxidisation natural process. It is a simple process that should not be a deterrent, if you want to maintain it’s natural polished of satin finish.
